Question 1

explain dx.of hypertrophic changes of right iliac crest.

Accepted Answer

Repeated: Micro trauma on ligaments near bones calcify other time, in this case around right upper hip bone.

Question 2

what is advanced hypertrophic change of the facet joints?

Accepted Answer

Degenerative change: Of joints connecting your spinal vertebrae most likely due to osteoarthritis. Something you've been doing has lead to this, since you're only 36.

Question 3

what does hypertrophic changes at the ac joint mean and what can cause it  shoul i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

AC joint: It is basically degenerative arthritis of the AC joint.  It is similar to degenerative changes elsewhere in the body.  Wear and tear, abnormal mechanics, anatomic predispositions may all contribute.

Question 4

posterior arch hypertrophic changes with multilevel bulges. there is significant foraminal impingement at multiple levels?

Accepted Answer

: You do not provide a location, but presume you are referring to your vertebral skeleton.  You describe spondylosis and degenerative disc disease.  What are you asking from us?  Please repost and clarify.

Question 5

what does mild hypertrophic changes of the acromioclavicular joint mean also no outlet stenosis mean?

Accepted Answer

Degenerative changes: It sounds like degenerative changes or arthritic changes of the joint (the joint that joins collar bone with acromion or prominence of the shoulder). No outlet stenosis means, there is no pinching or narrowing of a space. I am not sure if they are referring to another part of body, since the term applies to the openings in the joint or tissue that allows passage of nerves and blood vessels.

Question 6

what does this mean? hypertrophic changes of the right greater trochanter concerning for the right gluteal tendinopathy? pelvic phleboliths?

Accepted Answer

No worries!: Radiologists sometimes use colorful semantics to describe your x-rays. Phleboliths are benign calcifications in your pelvic veins. Hypertrophy of the greater trochanter it is very common and some people form bone spurs more easily than others. It is nothing that would cause any functional or pathologic problems with your hip. There is nothing to worry about.

Question 7

what does hypertrophic change at the t9-t10 facets bilaterally -severe left, moderate right osseous neural foraminal stenosis mean? lots of pain

Accepted Answer

Cause for back pain.: It means your main nerves coming from your spine that run through your vertebrae can be suffering of compression because overgrowth of the bony area is squeezing it/them.The pain is caused by the nerve itself that might be irritated by contact with the vertebra.Nerves transmit sensation so pain is triggered this way. F/u with your doctor to create a plan of action for treatment.

Question 8

mri- mild subacromial subdeltoid bursitis with slight hypertrophic changes at the inferior distal clavicle causing mild mass effect w/o injury. pt??

Accepted Answer

Rotator cuff: It sounds as if you have rotator cuff tendonitis with possible impingement. Physical therapy, rest from overhead activities, possible NSAIDs and a cortisone injection are all good options as first-line treatment.

Question 9

what are the causes of hypertrophic changes in facet joints of the cervical spine?

Accepted Answer

Inflamatory arthriti: Rheumatoid arthritis, trauma, are a few causes among others, osteoarthritis advanced age.

Question 10

mri-very mild broad disc bulge with posterior element hypertrophic changes causing minimal neural foraminal stenosis inferiorly. what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

"Arthritic spurs": The radiologist that read the MRI is simply referring to arthritic spurs that are growing forward into the small space on each side of the spine where the nerves exit.  

Keep in mind that this is very common in people with no pain at all.  This is only relevant if it correlates with your symptoms and physical exam findings.
